"A Knight in Hollywood" Enjoyed by All
     “I’d never seen the Armory so jazzed up,” Mount Michael junior Sean Cox said while commenting on this year’s Prom. “I was really impressed,” Cox added.
     “A Knight in Hollywood” was this year’s prom theme. Colorful lights, smoke, confetti, posters and cardboard cutouts were all part of the elaborate décor. “My date looked gorgeous,” commented junior Matt Goldsmith, “and so did the armory. Mr. Robinson did a great job.”
     Mark Robinson, sophomore dean at Mount Michael, was in charge of the decoration committee at this year’s prom. Robinson and his decoration team labored after school on Friday, all day Saturday and into the morning hours on Sunday. Robinson described the time he put into the set up and clean up: “I worked eight and a half hours Friday after school, ten hours on Saturday, and seven hours on Sunday cleaning up.”
     Sophomore Scott McCandless thought that Robinson’s long hours really paid off. “Seeing the Armory like that was pretty awesome.” McCandless also added, “I was a little disappointed in the turnout.”
     Forty-three couples attended this year’s “Knight on Broadway.” Brooke Colson, a sophomore at Westside High School, was taken aback by the number of people that attended prom. “It was a lot smaller than I imagined. At Westside, we held our prom at the Western Heritage Museum.”
     The prom kings for each class were announced around 11:00. The D.J., Tim Hall, announced the names as the students waited anxiously. Pat Pick won for the sophomores, Chris Daly took the crown for the juniors and Chris Sanchez was victor for the seniors. Pat Pick was overjoyed. “It was pretty exciting being crowned king and all. It made the night a little more thrilling. I just want to thank my classmates.”
     “I’d say prom was an overall success,” Cox concluded. A big thank you is due to Mr. Robinson and all the people who helped set up the fabulous decorations for this year’s prom. “The décor made the night,” junior Mike Gibilisco commented. “It was definitely an unexpected surprise.”
